Good for him. Unlike any of us pontificating about how good or bad Iraq is, he went to see with his own eyes. God bless this young man. For those calling him a traitor, I believe that you should see that he, by his actions, put his life on the line voluntarily to get a first hand account on whether democracy or oppression will be the future of Iraq. I for one hopes that he continues his "see with my own eyes" approach and becomes an honest journalist. He has shown great resourcefulness and would be a great asset to the media. I've read several stories that say that the majority of the news reported from Iraq have been from journalists that stay in their hotel rooms.
A believe a democratic Iraq is the key to the future of the Middle East and the very fact that this young man has shown the courage to see and the desire to help the Iraqi people should be a lesson to us all, whether if you are for the war or against. Those calling him a traitor should feel shame, he is no more a traitor or a moron than someone slapping keystrokes on a computer opining on a young man braver than most with the courage to see and report what he sees.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
